Stop arrow keys from scrolling through tabs on TabControl C# Winform

Question

Basically the Title says it all, I need to keep the arrow keys from being able to scroll through my various tabs. Anyone know of a way to do this?

Answer 1

I think you can trap event "KeyPress" for that control

then on the handle you have

System::Windows::Forms::KeyPressEventArgs^  e

You then check

if (e->KeyChar == [find the number representing the arrow key])
  e->Handled = true; // Meaning that no one will receive it afterwards

Answer 2

I fixed the problem with the following code

string tempstring = e.KeyValue.ToString();
if (tempstring == "37" || tempstring == "38" || tempstring == "39" || tempstring == "40")
{
     e.Handled = true;
}

I placed it inside of the tabControl1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) method.
